The Villanovan Culture of northern and central Italy, between 900 and 700 BC, was ancestral to the more well known Etruscan Civilization. This film covers the main elements of that culture: the warrior elite and its attributes, the aristocracy, farm production, religiosity and funeral rites, the crafts, the tasks and the role of women, and the relationship with the other peoples of the Mediterranean. The documentary combines living history with archaeological findings preserved in regional museums to illustrate the daily life of the Villanovans.

This program shows community television producers and public access centers in cities and towns throughout America. People of various ethnic, racial, socioeconomic and geographic backgrounds, highly skilled producers and those who have never had their hands on equipment, all go to make up the public access community. Whether assembled in million dollar studios or in portable trailers, these profiles demonstrate the significance of community made media. Produced by Diana Agosta, Andrew Blau, and David Shulman (NY NY)
